Attendance: Repeating event, particpants welcome at any session
Prereq: Participants need an Android phone and Google account.
This is a hands-on workshop for developing Android Apps for collecting geographic information and storing it on Google Fusion tables. No programming experience is required. App Inventor lets non programmers develop apps using block programming with an intuitive visual interface. App Inventor gives you access to the sensors on your phone, including the GPS, compass, and accelerometer. This will be the same workshop offered twice. You only need to register for one workshop.
Prerequisites: Participants need a Google account, an Android phone, and a laptop computer and must install App Inventor software on their computer (instructions will be sent prior to the workshop).
Location: GIS Lab, 3rd floor of Rotch Library, 7-238

This session offers a hands-on opportunity for integrating online maps into your website, from both Google Maps and OpenStreetMap and using Google Fusion Tables. Google Fusion Tables is a modern data management web application that makes it easy to host, manage, collaborate, and publish data tables online. Together, they make a powerful mapping platform, allowing people to easily upload data, and publish it on a map. Students will make a Google Map from scratch, including KML files (points, lines and polygons) developed in ArcGIS, and points included in easily edited XML files. We will also talk about interacting with the map through HTML widgets. Some familiarity with HTML, XML, and any modern programming language will make this workshop easier, but is not required. You will be working in Javascript but will largely be copying lines of Javascript rather than writing original code.

Note: Bring your own laptop if you have one.

Learn the basics of visualizing and analyzing geographic information and creating your own maps in a Geographic Information System (GIS). We will introduce open source and proprietary GIS software options and let attendees choose to work through exercises using ESRI ArcGIS (proprietary) and/or Quantum GIS (QGIS) (open source). Learn to work with data from the MIT Geodata Repository, analyze the data, and create maps that can be used in reports and presentations.

Enrollment: Limited: Advance sign-up required
Limited to 22 participants
Prereq: a basic knowledge of ArcMap
How do you begin to examine your data? This workshop will teach you how to use the ArcMap Geostatistical Analyst tools, ArcMap spatial statistics tools, and Geoda to examine data frequencies, normality, outliers, and trends. We will also conduct basic descriptive statistics, such as the mean, median, and standard deviation. At the end of this workshop, you’ll have a better idea about what tools you should use for further analysis.
Prerequisites: A basic knowledge of ArcMap, including how to load data and a familiarity with the interface. Registration required.
